Question 1

drink only water occasionally coffee. clear urine then occasionally dark yellow why ?

Accepted Answer

: Urine color varies most often with state of hydration of your body . When you drink lots of water or fluid urine is clear but if you get dehydrated like when you sweat and don’t drink fluids your body wants to keep your fluids so you produce less urine and it is concentrated and darker color

Question 2

what causes my urine to be so yellow?

Accepted Answer

Normal variation: The color of one's urine is a reflection of one's state of hydration and how one's body uses water. The more hydrated one is, the clearer the color and the greater the urinary frequency. On the other hand, darker yellow urine is associated with dehydration and less urinary frequency. Vitamin b2 (riboflavin), present in most multivitamins, is what imparts a more colorful yellow/orange urine.

Question 6

can lansopazole make your urine yellow  and smell?

Accepted Answer

Never encountered it: Not entirely sure. Have never encountered a patient with a similar presentation after starting Lansoprazole or any other proton pump inhibitor medicine. The two events may not be related at all.  Ask your provider to check your urine for other concerning conditions to know for sure. Thanks for the interesting question.

Question 7

what does it mean if i have neon yellow colored urine?

Accepted Answer

B vitamins?: B vitamin supplements are one of the most common causes of bright yellow colored urine.

Question 8

what is the difference between yellow urine and clearish urine?

Accepted Answer

Relative dilution: The gradient of colorless -> yellow urine is based, among other factors, on the relative dilution of the excreted waste. Increasing intake of water leads the kidneys to excrete more water for the same amount of excreted waste thereby diluting urine color to be lighter "clearish". Vitamin intake also makes urine yellow. Please note, "clearish", vs cloudy, is a different issue with different causes.

Question 9

my urine is yellow cloudy with strong oder for several weeks now?

Accepted Answer

: Drink plenty of water and go to your doctor for a urinalysis with urine culture and exam as soon as possible.

Question 10

why would my urine be dark yellow colored and smell kind of sweet?

Accepted Answer

Dehydrated?: If you haven't been drinking fluids, your urine will be darker.  When you are well hydrated, your urine will be light yellow to clear.  If issues continue, see your doctor for a simple urine test in the office.
